If you were in any doubt about what we’re up against when it comes to developing Scottish football, former St Mirren chairman, Stewart Gilmour’s incoherent rant in one of today’s newspapers, that Peter Lawwell is running Scottish football, paints a clear picture for you.
Peter Lawwell’s club, your club, PAYS for Scottish football. Fans of this club pour millions into the bank accounts of others from Dingwall to Kilmarnock. Those same clubs earn TV money and trackside advertising to viewers who tune in to see that very same club play football.
Each SPFL and SFA member club has only one vote, and Peter Lawwell is out-voted and frustrated on many issues. What he brings to the table is experience of the game, business, commercial contracts, risk and strategy that no one else in our game has ever enjoyed.
He will be the person who brings evidence-based insight into the value of our game’s commercial properties. This is not because Peter Lawwell is some unassailable guru, he simply has experience of running a business which is greater in depth and scope than anyone else in the history of Scottish football. The fair-minded acknowledge this and are thankful for it.
If your skillset is more suited to a bowling club committee than a business turning over tens of millions of pounds, and you have an unfortunate attitude towards Celtic representatives, all this might rub you up the wrong way.
You may think the last person you want illuminating Scottish football is some educated ******. Believe me, these attitudes persist in our game.
Gilmour, you will remember, was in charge of St Mirren when Charles Green (then the darling of Ibrox), was invited to New St Mirren Park for a Celtic game. They all wanted a piece of Peter then, but there was no courtesy offered from the Celtic contingent on the day.
This is a call to arms by those who want to encourage clubs to obstruct Celtic in every way possible. Peter Lawwell is their bogeyman. They are still sore that they didn’t turnover Celtic (and the rest of Scottish football) in 2012, and they blame Peter for not getting what they wanted.
Now there is a fresh reality to worry about: Celtic making their own way in the world, with the consent of Scottish football. Others will find their place in the game, while one club would wither on the vine without Celtic to feed off.

Summa of Sammi,
I listened to a podcast last night actually that talked about the Head and the Body in Biblical terms.
Seperating the Head from the Body is not good.

WARNING
Some of the Pictures above are confronting..

WTF?

PeteC..
I don’t believe in a Eye for a Eye the Hang Him Quote was just frustration after having to talk about this to my 11Yr old Girl after realising it was the same Person who stabbed his brother a couple of Blocks from her Nan’s House..
She is Very Intelligent and has Prayed for the Lost Souls..
A Awful thing to happen while sitting watching Andy Murray..

Summa of Sammi….
I’d never say I am Better than anyone.
Celtic is much better being the Underdog. FFS after the Juve game it is a miracle I still bother. That was a real ballburster for me. I know Everywhere is corrupt… the Blatant Cheating -as they knew Celtic were DEVASTATING @ corner kicks, Lenny obviously enhanced wee Gordons Jibber Jabber back then.
Celtic were relying on set pieces to get goals in the Fake League.
Brendan Rodgers iis Magical.

Big Judith has taken things to another level this morning!
Sorry .
I meant :-(
Good morning CQN from a cold and frosty East Devon.
What’s going on in Oz?
Petec – if god has put trump in place then I believe we need a vote of no confidence in him or her. God that is, not trump.
Pence’ bible passage? Why are they flying in its face? The gaggle of corrupt billionaires now in the White House have replaced multi millionaires. The swamp just got more swamp like. Actions speak louder than words. Look at the actions.
There is no reason and plan for everything. Theologically that is unsound. We were given free will. We get to choose. God didn’t direct the American voters. If we don’t have free will we don’t have genuine right and wrong, good and bad.
Bottom line buddy – Jesus dying for us? I have some residual faith but it means that god became man, knows our pain, took the side of the sick, the poor, the oppressed. He wouldn’t have voted for those who seek to deny healthcare to those people, or to build walls to keep them out of his town. He’d have been in among them calling for the wealth to be shared and the oppression to end.
Hiw anyone who is familiar with the Jesus story concludes that he or his Dad would want trump OR Clinton or practically any of the previous occupants in the White House is beyond me.
Pence can swear on bibles and pray all he likes. His actions and beliefs are unchristian and inhuman.
Action stations – my day begins
Good morning friends and a Big Happy Friday from a dry, broken clouded, mild East Kilbride. Just 2 more sleeps ;-)
Death penalty.

Free will is part of God’s plan. You know absolutely nothing about sound Christian theology.
After a lengthy absence I’m back!
Had all sorts of probs. with computer. Had a great time down in Mornington Vic. with the
peninsula Tims over Christmas. Big thanks to Melbourne Mick, Paddymacoz and all the others for entertaining
Mrs MB and myself.
Might see some of you up on the Sunshine Coast Queensland.

I’d disqualify anyone that Swears on a Bible, the Word of God – Somewhere in Scripture it warns us not to, Dr.Unk right now so I cannae quite get you the phrase. It is there Howevaaaah. Does Pence know about it? I have no Idea.
Pray for those that are going off the path. Yer Rewards for getting wan back on the the path are….. I have no idea. ;))
You are Right Roberto
The Green Man says SACK THE Board on 19th January 2017 10:13 pm
I’m not flippant about it at all.
The point I was making was that people on the left idolise mass-murdering tyrant as long as they’re left wing mass-murdering tyrants. Yet get all exercised about someone who has done something far less serious.
As long as Dominionism doesn’t get traction, Trump has surrounded himself with decent enough people.
Time to retreat from Every war possible.
Obama has acted like a spoilt brat heading oot.
Protect EVERY Life possible.

VFR800,
Early doors in the Season,
Kieran Bamboozled the defender with Majestical Skills. Kieran TIERNEY.
Is it out there… You Bhoys were so Close to the Magical moment.
The Superb thing about Kieran, he is not predictable.
He played like he was a proper winger.
Morning fholks. Back from my annual trip to tennis in Melbourne. First blog for a week. Please read and enjoy. Thanks

Dr.Unk I think Mt:5:34-37 is what your looking for in the `Ole Cherrypickers Handbook,but typically the polar opposite can also be found,its called contradiction,which sort of renders Islay Peat `s assertion of “sound Christian theology”a bit of an oxymoron
No wonder the Roman Empire chose Christianity to keep their subjects in line.

P.S. i think Trumpet is required to swear an oath some time today,Trustworthy?

Hopefully we will see young KT back in action on Sunday!

I see sevco have put mackay in the shop window ….. “will someone, anyone, please buy him….we need the money”
67heaven
I’ll buy him. I have 6 wee boxes of millions in the cupboard.
I might take one wee sweetie oot though a I think he’s not worth 6 full boxes.
MWD
I never seen the ‘Red Bull offer £6m for Mackay’ headline coming….Awe Naw – we know it’s you…..
Was it not M6 for Mackay?
Lustig signed on until 2019 this week. He has been injured for over 20% of the available games for Celtic since joining in 2012 but started 45 matches this season and Rodgers has him as a 1st pick. Are we now seeing the best of Lustig and can we consider him one of the backbone players in the squad?

Morning All,
I am looking into buying celtic TV and was wondering if there is much difference between the standard and premium subscription?
Is the premium worth the extra?
Thanks
